"Every time you see him flying, it's him on that jet," he has said about it.
Tom Cruise being Tom Cruise. This is how the performance of the actor could be summed up at the premiere of his new movie, Top Gun: Maverick, a guy who can never stop acting, even off camera. This is how he has dazzled everyone.
The premiere of Top Gun: Maverick was taking place in San Diego when the actor made his grand entrance by landing with a helicopter on the retired aircraft carrier USS Midway on which the presentation of the film had been prepared.
Tom Cruise, a licensed pilot and known for being a lover of risk, arrived in the helicopter to accompany several of his co-stars, including Jennifer Connelly, Glenn Powell or Miles Teller, who joked that arriving in an Uber was too much. simple for the actor of Mission Impossible.
And it is that more than 35 years have passed since the original Top Gun, which is why the actor wanted to celebrate this long-awaited sequel to one of the first films that consecrated him in his career as a Hollywood star.
Not only that, but it was also one of the first films in which he was able to put into practice his ability to get involved in the shooting to the point of not needing double action.
Tom Cruise is an actor well known for being one of the few actors in all of Hollywood who almost never uses stuntmen for his action scenes.
With Top Gun: Maverick it has not been different, as he has shown in moments shot behind the scenes and especially the arduous training to which he has subjected the rest of the cast, turning them into authentic fighter pilots like those in the film.
Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on May 26 and although Cruise has set the bar very high with the premiere, we can't even imagine what he will have in store for the film as such.
It has been 35 years since Tom Cruise dazzled the world at the controls of a US Navy fighter plane in Top Gun: Idols of the Sky. Three and a half decades later, the Tony Scott-directed film remains one of the most iconic in Cruise's filmography.
But if Top Gun taught us anything, apart from the fact that if you go out of tune in a bar nobody tells you anything, it is that patience is a virtue for a fighter pilot. The Joseph Kosinski-directed film is on the catapult of Paramount's aircraft carrier, ready to take off.
One of the aspects that has been most insisted on in the promotion of Top Gun: Maverick is its photography quality. IMAX cameras have been used to adapt the flight scenes to this large format.
The interior of the cabins had six IMAX cameras: four focusing on the actors, and forward. In addition, several devices were placed in the fuselage of the planes, after a lengthy discussion with the Navy to get them to give their consent.
For this reason, Paramount invites us to see Top Gun: Maverick in IMAX format with its new poster for the Tom Cruise movie. The screen, the bigger the better. Note that, despite the fact that Paramount's tweet points to the premiere on May 27, in Spain it is brought forward to May 26.
Top Gun: Maverick takes place 30 years after the events of the original film. Pete Mitchell is a Top Gun instructor tasked with training a new squad of pilots for a mission unlike anything ever seen.
Among the new students is Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Miles Teller), son of his former partner Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. Maverick must deal with memories of the past while preparing for a crucial mission.
This is what the producer of the film, Jerry Bruckheimer, says, who affirms that the United States Navy — which has collaborated extensively in the production of the film has informed them that a Chinese satellite turned and headed for a different route to photograph that plane.
Perhaps the Chinese should be excused because the aircraft — which was built on a full-scale, non-flight prototype — was designed and built by Skunk Works, as Bruckheimer notes: “Joe [Kosinski, the director] worked with Skunk Works and Lockheed [Martin] to design the plane that's there. They had a lot of fun making Darkstar."
Skunk Works is Lockheed Martin's legendary advanced technology group, responsible for legendary advanced aircraft, from the P-38 Lightning in 1939 and the P-80 Shooting Star in 1943, to the famous U-2 Dragonlady of 1955 (still in use), the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber in 1981, the F-22 Raptor fighter in 1997 or the F-35 Lightning II fighter-bomber in 2006.
However, in 2013, reports surfaced of a new totally unshootable suborbital and hypersonic spy plane, which experts named SR-72. This is the machine that seems to have inspired the 'Darkstar', the fictional hypersonic plane that appears in Top Gun 2, apparently piloted by the iconic Maverick. In 2018, for the umpteenth time, both the US Air Force and Lockheed Martin did not want to confirm or deny the existence of the SR-72, which it was even said could be a drone and not a piloted aircraft.
The Chinese government, despite being more advanced in areas such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence, is still trailing the West in its aerial systems and other weapons, which they shamelessly copy to create their own versions.
Only recently have the Chinese made breakthroughs in creating technologies for hypersonic flight that have resulted in achievements like their glider performing "impossible" maneuvers, according to US military experts.
This does not mean that they continue to copy (and improve) ideas over and over again, as has apparently been the case with this fictional plane that is too close to reality.
Do you feel like sitting in the cinema to enjoy Top Gun: Maverick from next May 26?
